The Euro made everything more expensive and is nothing more than a smoke screen for politicians to use to tell people how well everything is going and how thankful they should be. You don't even want to know how much tax money is going in that entire EU garbage thing that results in nothing. They even allowed all those poor countries to join and the EU union is donating enormous amounts of money to these countries and gets nothing in return. "Money from Europe" they call it, no wonder tons of investors are pulling away because the costs of labour are just gigantic compared to most other countries in the world.
Ehm, 'scuse me, but how about the fact that you can get a mortgage with a PROPER fixed rate mortgage (meaning the ENTIRE life of the mortgage, not some crappy 5 years), at a rate of *cough* 2.1%

Yeah, no benefit for the having the Euro, long live Bank of England interest rates
